Renewable energy

The Energy Authority is responsible for the implementation and administration of systems promoting the production and use of renewable energy. The largest task unit handles is the enforcement and monitoring of tasks set out in the Act on the Promotion of Electricity from Renewable Sources. Another task is the implementation and monitoring of the legislation on biofuels and bioliquids. It is also part of the Energy Authority's remit to make sure that guarantees of origin for electricity sales and marketing are the only applicable way to verify the origin of electricity produced from renewable sources of energy, and to calculate the residual mix of electricity whose origin has not been verified.
